Singapore develops implantable brain chips to control mechanical prosthesis walking

Release date: 2014-04-09


Recently, the "neuron array chip" developed by the Singapore A.STAR Microelectronics Research Institute, which can be implanted into the human brain to achieve long-term intracranial retention without damaging other brain tissues. The bottom of the chip consists of a number of tiny probe arrays that can be connected to nerves in the brain and receive limb control signals. This technology will help amputees and patients with myelitis use the brain to control Mechanical prosthesis walking.
Although the above said to give you the feeling that this stuff is quite powerful, it will certainly help many people who could not walk, the benefits are many. But a sophisticated organization like the brain needs to do this in order to successfully implant this stuff without any errors. Our current small injury surgery method is to create a "channel" through the skull hole and then connect the required equipment. This method is not perfect. If there is a problem, the patient may cause infection or even intracranial hemorrhage. So scientists want to design a new solution for this.
In order to solve the above problems, the A.STRA team first made the chips as thin as possible, and they used an innovative micro-assembly technology (in micrometers) to send the chips to the subarachnoid space of the brain. Inside, then proceed to further operations. At present, the research team is still perfecting the process of surgical implementation and starting to test the compatibility of the chip with human tissue. After some time of efforts, the chip will be successfully applied to modern medical technology.
